BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an ultra wide-angle imaging lens device and an imaging apparatus,
particularly, to an ultra wide-angle imaging lens device that is suitable for use
in an on-vehicle camera, an onboard camera, a cell phone camera, a surveillance camera,
or the like having an imaging device such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor
or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, and to an imaging apparatus
having the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device.
2. Description of the Related Art
[0002] In recent years, an imaging device such as a CCD sensor and a CMOS sensor has been
more downsized and increased in the number of pixels. Accordingly, an imaging apparatus
main body having such an imaging device has been also downsized, and a lens mounted
thereon is required to be reduced in size and weight.
[0003] Also, an imaging lens device used in an on-vehicle camera, a cell phone camera, a
surveillance camera, or the like is required to have high image quality in the overall
effective picture plane even with its wide angle of view, in order to secure a good
visual field in a wide area.
[0005] However, in the lens described in
JP 2002-244031 A, a refractive index of the first lens located on the most-object side is low, and
negative powers of the first and second lenses are relatively low. Hence, it is hard
to obtain an angle of view greater than 180 degrees, and recent demand of an increase
in angle of view can not be satisfied. In the lens described in
JP 2006-259704 A and
JP 2006-292988 A, angle of views of them are in the range of 140 to 165 degrees and around 160 degrees,
respectively, and recent demand of an increase in angle of view can not be satisfied.
[0006] In the lens described in
JP 2005-227426 A, although its angle of view is greater than 180 degrees, there is a room for improvement
in optical performance. In this lens, when the lens is estimated based on a stereographic
projection, distortion rapidly increases toward a negative side in the area where
a half angle of view is greater than 80 degrees. Thus, an image in the most peripheral
portion is shrunken and is formed as a small image.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, provides an ultra
wide-angle imaging lens device capable of securing good optical performance while
having a small size and an ultra wide-angle of view, and an imaging apparatus having
the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device.
[0008] According to the invention, an ultra wide-angle imaging lens device includes, as
defined in claim 1, in order from an object side, a negative first lens, a negative
second lens, a positive third lens, a stop and a positive fourth lens. The first lens
has a meniscus shape with a convex surface directed to the object side. The second
lens has a concave surface directed to an image side and has at least one aspheric
surface. The third lens has a convex surface directed to the object side and has at
least one aspheric surface. The fourth lens has a convex surface directed to the image
side and has at least one aspheric surface. The following conditional expression (1)
is satisfied:
where L denotes a distance on an optical axis from an object side surface of the
first lens to an image formation surface, and f
34 denotes a composite focal length of the third and fourth lenses.
[0009] Also, when L is calculated, an air-equivalent distance is used as a distance (a back
focal length) from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to the image formation
surface. For example, when an optical member such as a filter exists from the image
side surface of the fourth lens to an image formation surface, L is calculated by
converting the optical member into an air-equivalent length.
[0010] The following conditional expressions (2) and (3) are satisfied:
where d
2 denotes an on-axis space between the first lens and the second lens, and d
4 denotes an on-axis space between the second lens and the third lens.
[0011] It is preferable that the following conditional expression (4) is satisfied:
where N
1 denotes a refractive index of the first lens at the e-line.
[0012] Also it is preferable that the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied:
where d
5 denotes a thickness of the third lens on the optical axis.
[0013] Also, it is preferable that the following conditional expressions (6) to (8) are
satisfied:
where f
2 denotes a focal length of the second lens, f
3 denotes a focal length of the third lens, and f
4 denotes a focal length of the fourth lens.
[0014] Also, it is preferable that the following conditional expressions (9) to (12) are
satisfied:
where ν
1 denotes an Abbe number of the first lens at the d-line, ν
2 denotes an Abbe number of the second lens at the d-line, ν
3 denotes an Abbe number of the third lens at the d-line, and ν
4 denotes an Abbe number of the fourth lens at the d-line.
[0015] Also, it is preferable that all of the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth
lens are made of plastic.
[0016] Also, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (13) is satisfied:
where da denotes an on-axis space between the stop and the fourth lens.
[0017] Also, in any of the above configurations, an angle of view of the ultra wide-angle
imaging lens device may be greater than 180 degrees. Alternatively, the angle of view
of the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device may be less than 180 degrees.
[0018] According to another aspect of the invention, an imaging apparatus includes the ultra
of the wide-angle imaging lens device of any one of the above configurations, and
an imaging device that converts an optical image formed by the ultra wide-angle imaging
lens device into an electric signal.
[0019] In the conditional expressions (9) to (12), the d-line (587.6 nm in wavelength) is
set as a reference wavelength. In the conditional expressions except for the conditional
expressions (9) to (12), the e-line (546.07 nm in wavelength) is set as a reference
wavelength.
[0020] According to the invention, although the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device has
a small number of lenses, that is, four, since the shapes and refractive indices of
the respective lenses are set appropriately and the imaging lens device is configured
to satisfy the conditional expression (1), it is possible to provide the ultra wide-angle
imaging lens device, which is compact and has a good optical performance while having
an ultra wide-angle of view, and an imaging apparatus having the ultra wide-angle
imaging lens device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference
to the drawings. First, referring to Fig. 1, a typical configuration of an ultra wide-angle
imaging lens device according to the embodiment of the invention will be described
and then, an imaging apparatus of the embodiment will be described.
[0023] Fig. 1 illustrates a lens section view of an ultra wide-angle imaging lens device
1 according to the embodiment of the invention. Also, the exemplary configuration
shown in Fig. 1 corresponds to the lens configuration of Example 1 which will be described
later. Fig. 1 shows on-axis rays and most off-axis rays. As can be seen from Fig.
1, the lens device of this embodiment is an ultra wide-angle lens device having the
entire angle of view greater than 180 degrees.
[0024] In the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, there are arranged, along an optical
axis Z in order from an object side: a negative first lens L1 formed of a meniscus
lens having a convex surface directed to the object side; a negative second lens L2
having a concave surface directed to an image side and having at least one aspheric
surface; a positive third lens L3 having a convex surface directed to the object side
and having at least one aspheric surface; an aperture diaphragm St; and a positive
fourth lens L4 having a convex surface directed to the image side and having at least
one aspheric surface.
[0025] In consideration of the case where the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1 is
applied to the imaging apparatus, Fig. 1 shows an imaging device 6 disposed on the
image formation surface including an image formation position P of the ultra wide-angle
imaging lens device 1. The imaging device 6 converts an optical image formed by the
ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1 into an electric signal, and includes, for
example, a CCD image sensor or the like.
[0026] Also, when the lens device is applied to the imaging apparatus, it is preferred that,
between the fourth lens L4 and the image formation surface, a cover glass, a low pass
filter, an infrared cut filter, or the like is disposed in accordance with the configuration
of a camera on which the lens device is mounted. Fig. 1 shows an example in which
an optical member PP having a parallel flat-plate shape and serving as any one of
the components mentioned above is disposed.
[0027] Next, a specific configuration of the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1 and
the effects and advantages thereof will be described. The first lens L1 disposed on
the most-object side is formed of the negative meniscus lens having the convex surface
directed to the object side. Thus, it is possible to obtain rays incident at a large
angle on the convex surface, on the object side, of the first lens, and to increase
an angle of view. Also, it is possible to decrease Petzval sum. Therefore, it becomes
relatively easy to correct field curvature in the whole wide picture plane.
[0028] Also, the second lens L2 is formed of the negative lens. Thus, the first lens L1
and the second lens L2 can share a negative refractive power required for the whole
system. Therefore, it is advantageous to correct aberrations. Particularly, as shown
in the example of Fig. 1, when the second lens L2 is formed to have the biconcave
shape, the second lens L2 can be configured to have a strong negative refractive power
as compared with the first lens L1 having a refractive power, which is not so strong,
and having a meniscus shape. Thus, it is possible to secure a negative refractive
power required for the whole system. Also, an image-side surface of the second lens
L2 is formed of a concave surface. Thereby, it is possible to lead off-axis ray, which
are incident at a large angle, to a subsequent positive lens while suppressing aberrations
to be as small as possible. Also, the second lens L2 is formed of an aspheric lens.
Thereby, it is possible to perform good correction.
[0029] Also, not only the negative second lens L2 but also the positive third lens L3 and
positive fourth lens L4 are formed of aspheric lenses. Thereby, it is possible to
perform good correction.
[0030] In the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, the following conditional expression
(1) is satisfied:
-3.2 <L/f
34 < 3.2 (1)
where L denotes a distance on an optical axis from the object-side surface of the
first lens L1 to the image formation surface, and f
34 denotes a composite focal length of the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4. Here,
with respect to L, a part of a back focus is an air-equivalent distance.
[0031] The conditional expression (1) defines a ratio of the composite focal length of the
two lenses between which the aperture diaphragm St is disposed to the distance from
the first lens L1 to the image surface. If L/f
34 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (1), a power of the third lens
L3 becomes weak, and so is insufficient to correct lateral chromatic aberration, or
a power of the fourth lens L4 decreases, and so is insufficient to correct field curvature
and coma aberration. Alternatively, if L/f
34 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (1) but the powers of the third
lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 are not weak, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens
L4 become too close to each other, and thus it is difficult to arrange those lenses
L3 and L4.
[0032] If L/f
34 falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (1), the power of the third
lens L3 increases, and lateral chromatic aberration is excessive, or the power of
the fourth lens L4 increases, and so it is difficult to correct field curvature and
coma aberration. Alternatively, if L/f
34 falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (1) but the powers of the
third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 is not strong, the third lens L3 and the fourth
lens L4 are too far from each other, and thus the size of the lens system increases.
[0033] Also, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that the following
conditional expressions (2) to (3) be satisfied:
where d
2 denotes an on-axis space between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2, and d
4 denotes an on-axis space between the second lens L2 and the third lens L3.
[0034] If d
2 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (2), an effective radius of
the image-side surface of the first lens L1 increases, and approaches a radius of
curvature thereof. Thus, it is difficult to process the lens, and a total lens length
increases. If d
2 falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (2) and it is attempted
to secure a proper power for the first lens L1, the image-side surface of the first
lens L1 interferes with the object-side surface of the second lens L2, and it is hard
to secure the required effective radius.
[0035] If d
4/L exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (3), it is difficult to well
correct distortion while well suppressing lateral chromatic aberration, and the total
lens length increases. Also, the lower limit of the conditional expression (3) may
be determined so long as the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 are not in contact
with each other within the effective diameter.
[0036] Furthermore, if the lens device is configured to satisfy the following conditional
expression (3-1), it becomes easier to correct both of lateral chromatic aberration
and distortion.
[0037] Also, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that the following
conditional expression (4) is satisfied:
where N
1 denotes a refractive index of the first lens L1 at the e-line.
[0038] If N
1 falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (4), a radius of curvature
of the object-side surface of the first lens L1 increases in order to obtain a power
required for the first lens L1, and a radius of curvature of the image-side surface
thereof decreases. However, when the radius of curvature of the object-side surface
increases, an angle at which rays of a peripheral image are refracted on the object-side
surface increases. Thus, it is difficult to well correct distortion. When a radius
of curvature of the image-side surface decreases, the radius of curvature thereof
extremely approaches to the effective radius thereof. Thus, it is difficult to process
the lens. Also, since a depth (a length from a lens periphery to a lens center in
the optical-axis direction) of the image-side surface also increases, a distance between
the image side surface of the first lens L1 and the object side surface of the second
lens L2 increases, and a total lens length increases. This configuration is disadvantageous
in downsizing.
[0039] Also, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that the following
conditional expression (5) be satisfied:
where d
5 denotes a thickness of the third lens L3 on the optical axis.
[0040] If d
5/L exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (5), a total lens length
increases. If d
5/L falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (5) and it is attempted
to obtain a positive power required for the third lens L3, the object-side surface
and image-side surface of the third lens L3 are too close to each other outside the
effective diameter. Thus, it is difficult to process the lens.
[0041] Also, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that the following
conditional expressions (6) to (8) are satisfied:
where f
2 denotes a focal length of the second lens L2, f
3 denotes a focal length of the third lens L3, and f
4 denotes a focal length of the fourth lens L4.
[0042] If f
2/L exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (6), refraction of rays in
the second lens L2 greatly increases. Thus, it is difficult to well correct distortion
and coma aberration. Also, sensitivity of the second lens L2 to a positional error
increases. Thus, it is difficult to stably secure performance at the time of production
of the lens device. If f
2/L falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (6), a large negative
power is required by the first lens L1. Thus, a radius of curvature of the object
side surface of the first lens L1 should increase, and it becomes necessary to decrease
a radius of curvature of the image side surface of the first lens L1. Therefore, it
is difficult to well correct distortion, and workability of the first lens L1 is deteriorated.
[0043] If f
3/L exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (7), correction of lateral
chromatic aberration is insufficient, and thus a resolution power of the lens deteriorates.
If f
3/L falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (7), refraction of rays
in the third lens L3 becomes too large, and thus it is difficult to well correct coma
aberration. Also, sensitivity of the third lens L3 to a positional error increases,
and thus it is difficult to stably secure performance at the time of production of
the lens device.
[0044] When a lens closer to the object side than the aperture diaphragm St corrects lateral
chromatic aberration, axial chromatic aberration deteriorates. However, if a positive
power of the lens closer to the image side than the aperture diaphragm St is properly
set not to exceed the upper limit of the conditional expression (8), the tendency
to deteriorate axial chromatic aberration is suppressed. Thus, it is possible to adjust
axial chromatic aberration to be in the practical allowable range.
[0045] If f
4/L exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (8), a ratio of a positive
power of the lens closer to the image side than the aperture diaphragm St to a power
of the whole lens system decreases, and thus axial chromatic aberration generated
in positions closer to the object side than the aperture diaphragm St becomes too
large. If f
4/L falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (8), a radius of curvature
of the fourth lens L4 decreases. Thus, it is difficult to process the lens, and a
back focal length thereof becomes too short.
[0046] Also, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that the following
conditional expressions (9) to (12) be satisfied:
where ν
1 denotes an Abbe number of the first lens L1 at the d-line, ν
2 denotes an Abbe number of the second lens L2 at the d-line, ν
3 denotes an Abbe number of the third lens L3 at the d-line, and ν
4 denotes an Abbe number of the fourth lens L4 at the d-line.
[0047] Also, to further improve correction effect in lateral chromatic aberration, it is
more preferred that the following conditional expression (11-1) is satisfied:
[0048] Also, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that the following
conditional expression (13) is satisfied:
where da denotes an on-axis space between the aperture diaphragm and the fourth lens
L4.
[0049] Furthermore, in the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, it is preferred that
both surfaces of each of the second lens L2, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens
L4 are aspheric. In this case, it is advantageous to correct aberrations.
[0050] With regard to lens materials, the first lens L1 is a lens closest to the object
side. Therefore, if the lens device is used in severe environment like an on-vehicle
camera, it is preferred to use a material strong in a resistance against surface abrasion
caused by rainstorm, a resistance against temperature variation caused by direct rays,
and a resistance against chemicals such as grease and cleanser, that is, a water resistance,
a weather resistance, an acid resistance, and a chemical resistance. Also, it is preferred
that the material of the first lens L1 is hard and is not fragile, such as glass or
transparent ceramic. Ceramic has higher stiffness and heat resistance than normal
glass.
[0051] To the contrary, it is preferred that the second lens L2, the third lens L3, and
the fourth lens L4 are made of plastic. By using plastic as materials of them, it
is possible to form an aspheric surface shape with high accuracy, and it is also possible
to provide a lightweight and low-cost lens.
[0052] If the plastic material has high water-absorption property, its refractive index
is changed by entrance and exit of moisture, and its geometry is also changed, thereby
having an adverse effect on optical performance. However, if materials having quite
small water-absorption property, for example, the second lens L2 and the fourth lens
L4 use polyolefin based plastic and the third lens L3 uses polycarbonate or PET based
plastic, it is possible to minimize performance deterioration caused by water-absorption.
[0053] In the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1, there is a concern that rays passing
through out of the effective diameter reach the image surface as stray light and forms
a ghost image. Thus, it is preferred to shield the stray light by providing a light
shielding member. In the example shown in Fig. 1, there are provide light shielding
members 11 and 12 in a portion outside the effective diameter of the first lens L1
on the image side and in a portion outside the effective diameter of the second lens
L2 on the image side. Examples of the shielding members 11 and 12 include an opaque
coating material and an opaque plate member which are provided in the portions outside
the effective diameter of the lenses. Alternatively, the stray light may be shielded
by providing an opaque plate member on the optical path of the stray light. The shielding
members for the purpose of this object may be disposed between other lenses, if necessary.
[Examples]
[0054] Hereinafter, numerical examples of the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device according
to the invention will be described in detail.
<Example 1>
[0055] Table 1 shows lens data and various data of the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device
according to Example 1. In the lens data of Table 1, a surface number represents i-th
(i = 1, 2, 3 ···) surface and sequentially increases as it gets closer to the image
side with the assumption that a surface of a component closest to the object side
is defined as a first surface. Also, it is noted that the lens data of Table 1 includes
the aperture diaphragm St.
[0056] In Table 1, ri represents a radius of curvature of the i-th (i = 1, 2, 3 ·· ·) surface,
and di represents a surface separation, on the optical axis Z, between the i-th (i
= 1, 2, 3 ···) surface and the (i+1)th surface. Also, Nej represents a refractive
index, at the e-line (546.07 nm in wavelength), of j-th (j = 1, 2, 3 ···) lens, and
the lens number sequentially increases as it gets closer to the image side with the
assumption that the lens closest to the object side is defined as a first lens. Also,
vdj represents an Abbe number of the j-th lens at the d-line (587.6 nm in wavelength).
In Table 1, units of the radius of curvature and the surface separation are mm. Also,
it is assumed that if a surface is convex toward the object side, its radius of curvature
takes a positive value and that if a surface is convex toward the image side, its
radius of curvature takes a negative value.
[0057] In the various data of Table 1, f represents a focal length of the whole system,
FNo. represents a F number, 2ω represents an entire angle of view, Bf represents a
back focal length, L represents a distance from the object-side surface of the first
lens L1 to the image formation surface on the optical axis Z, and 1H represents an
image height. In the various data of Table 1, a unit of 2ω is degree, and units of
FNo. and 2ω are mm. Also, the reference signs in Table 1 have the same meaning as
reference signs used in examples which will be described later.
[0058] In the lens data in Table 1, aspheric surfaces are represented by a sign "*" added
to the surface numbers. The aspheric surfaces are defined by an aspheric surface expression
shown in the following expression. Table 2 shows values of respective aspheric coefficients
K and B3 to B20 of the aspheric surfaces. Also, the signs in Table 2 and the definition
of the aspheric surfaces are the same in the examples which will be described later.

Z: depth of aspheric surface (a length of a perpendicular line dropped from a point
having a height of Y on an aspheric surface down to a plane which is tangential to
an aspheric surface apex and is perpendicular to the optical axis).
Y: height (a distance from the optical axis)
R: paraxial radius of curvature
K, Bi: aspheric surface coefficient (i = 3 to 20)
[0059] Fig. 2 is a section view illustrating the configuration of the lens device according
to Example 1. The reference signs ri (i = 1, 2, 3 ···) and di (i = 1, 2, 3 ···) shown
in Fig. 2 correspond to the reference signs ri and di in Table 1. Fig. 2 also shows
the aperture diaphragm St and the optical member PP. Fig. 2 shows the example in which
a member which has a parallel flat-plate shape, 0.5 mm in thickness, and 1.52 in refractive
index at the e-line is used as an example of the optical member PP and is disposed
between the fourth lens L4 and the image formation surface. Fig. 2 also shows the
on-axis rays, the most-off-axis rays, and the image formation position P, and hatching
is omitted for explanatory convenience. Basic configurations of the examples which
will be described later are the same as illustrated in Fig. 2.
[0060] In Example 1, as lens materials, an optical glass is used in the first lens L1, a
polyolefin based plastic is used in the second lens-L2 and the fourth lens L4, and
a PET based plastic is used in the third lens L3.

[0072] Figs. 8 to 13 are aberration diagrams showing spherical aberration, astigmatism,
distortion, lateral chromatic aberration, and coma aberration of the ultra wide-angle
imaging lens devices according to Examples 1 to 6. Each aberration diagram shows aberrations
with e-line being used as a reference wavelength. Furthermore, the spherical aberration
diagrams and the lateral chromatic aberration diagrams show aberrations at the C-line
(656.3 nm in wavelength) and aberrations at the g-line (436 nm in wavelength), and
those are represented by the reference signs e, C, and g. FNo. Shown in the vertical
axis in the spherical aberration diagram is a F number, ω shown in the vertical axis
in the other aberration diagrams is a half angle of view.
[0073] Also, in the aberration diagrams of distortion, an ideal image height is set to 2
× f × tan(ω/2). The reason is that the ultra wide-angle lens according to the invention
is a lens based on the stereographic projection in which an image height y = 2 × f
× tan(ω/2) is used as a reference, and that the ultra wide-angle lens is designed
to further enlarge a peripheral image as compared with normal lenses based on an equidistance
projection in which an image height y = f × ω is used as a reference. As can be seen
from Figs. 8 to 13, the lens systems in Examples 1 to 6 well corrected aberrations,
and particularly are excellent in that distortion does not rapidly increase in peripheral
portions.
[0074] The ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1 and the ultra wide-angle imaging lens
device according to Example 1 to 6 are suitable for use in an on-vehicle camera or
the like for taking images of the front, side, and rear of a vehicle.
[0075] As a use example, Fig. 14 shows that the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device and
the imaging apparatus according to the embodiment are mounted on a vehicle 5. In Fig.
14, the vehicle 5 includes an outside-vehicle camera 2 for photographing a blind spot
area on the passenger-seat side, an outside-vehicle camera 3 for photographing a blind
spot area in the rear of the vehicle 5, and an in-vehicle camera 4 disposed on the
rear of a room mirror so as to photograph the same visual field range as a driver.
Each of the outside-vehicle camera 2, the outside-vehicle camera 3, and the in-vehicle
camera 4 is an imaging apparatus, and includes the ultra wide-angle imaging lens devices
1 according to the embodiment of the invention and the imaging device 6, which converts
an optical image formed by the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1 into an electric
signal.
[0076] As described above, the ultra wide-angle imaging lens device 1 according to the embodiment
of the invention has a small size and good optical performance while securing an ultra
wide-angle greater than 180 degrees. Thus, it is possible to decrease sizes of the
outside-vehicle cameras 2 and 3 and the in-vehicle camera 4, and it is also possible
to form a good image in the wide range of the angle of view on the image formation
surface of the imaging device 6.
[0077] The invention has been described with reference to the embodiment and the examples,
but the invention is not limited there, and may be modified in various ways. For example,
the values of a radius of curvature, the on-axis surface spacing, and refractive indices
of the lenses are not limited to the values described in the numerical examples, and
may have other values.
[0078] Also, in the embodiment of the imaging apparatus, the example in which the invention
is applied to the on-vehicle camera has been described with reference to the drawing,
but the invention is not limited to this application, and is also applicable to, for
example, a cell phone camera or a surveillance camera.
